ATP Meter PD-30   AT001  £950.00 each                                                                   

The ATP Meter PD-30 is an alternative to the Protein tests we list. It gives more sensitive results of cleanliness and gives a digital readout.

The patented procedure used in the Lumitester PD30 is based on the measurement of bioluminescence,a product produced during the enzymatic decomposition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) using luciferase and pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK, patent no. US 6054305).

ATP and AMP are molecules present in the cells of all living organisms – whether animals, plants,fungi, yeast or bacteria. AMP is produced from the ATP in bacteria, in their resting state with a reduced energy balance. In heat-treated foodstuffs, the heating of ATP and the impact of enzymes breaks it down into AMP. These foodstuff residues provide the ideal breeding ground for ubiquitary microbes, whose growth leads to the contamination of further process products.

Classical ATP measurements do not highlight this AMP in organic residues, thus producing imprecise measurements of cleanliness. Protein color analyses require a longer measuring time and are significantly less sensitive. The Lumitester PD20 and LuciPac Pen enable an exact measurement of the degree of contamination. The simultaneous measurement feature provides a reliable indicator of cleanliness, thus enabling you to satisfy all legal requirements.

PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO PURCHASE THE ATP PENS AT002 TO USE WITH THE METER
